Position Description

The Administrative Office of the Courts is seeking up to 10 unpaid student interns/externs for our Carson City and Las Vegas offices each Fall, Spring, and Summer.

Interns take on professional responsibilities and gain hands-on experience.

Externs typically shadow a professional without completing job-related tasks.

Summer internships will run during the period of May – July, Fall externships will run August – November, and Spring externships will run February – April. Interns assist with substantive judicial matters under the direction of AOC supervisors and managers. Projects and tasks will be assigned by the AOC supervisor and manager. The assignments will be meaningful and give students a real opportunity to be exposed to current court practices and services. Interns may also have an opportunity to visit the courts across the state.
